On Complex numbers in Quantum Mechanics
Abstract
We look at the fundamental use of complex numbers in Quantum Mechanics (QM). A review of some of the most popular reasons given in the literature to support the necessity of the complex formalism, We add some insight by invoking others. This short study is aimed at strengthening the delicate pedagogical endeavor of explaining Why Quantum mechanics needs complex numbers
